My girlfriend has the Samsung Galaxy Relay. The keyboard is nice, the screen is fine, and someone is already working on CM9 for it (but the keyboard doesn't work completely yet and the camera doesn't work yet). My only gripes about it are that the slide mechanism doesn't feel nearly as satisfying as the MT4GS and that the bezel is huge.

My girlfriend replaced my MT4GS so I'm coming back here after using a Nexus S. I'll miss CM10.1 a lot. ;_;

The best HTC T-Mobile can offer

If I have to move from this device, I would probably be more inclined to getting the Note 2 more than the Nexus 4 ( whixh are basically the only reasonable options available now and in the near future)

This is because right now it would be easier and cheaper to get a Note II in my country than it would be the Nexus 4. Also, looking at the Note II smart dock available right now for the Note II makes it even more of a no brainer for me. The dock has 3 USB ports, hdmi out, audio line-out which practically turns the device into a PC or a gaming console depending on how you would like to use it.

I hate touchwiz, so i wound rather have the device dualbooting a jellybam-like AOSP and Linux. Considering the amount of brut the device has (1.6ghz quad with 2gb ram) I'd say it would be perfectly suited to run Linux natively, and not through vnc. Linux would probably put the dock to better use than Android anyway. I know Ubuntu Phone Os is on the way but it's a long way off. I was looking around and saw the TF300T had gotten a working port of Archlinux which means that it also gets X server running on it. It would be really cool to have the option of both distros by the time Ubuntu Phone OS starts getting ported to devices.

I need some feedback from my MyTouch 4G Slide community:

My MT4GS just broke two days ago. I have no in-call sound unless I'm on speaker phone or bluetooth. I guess my earpiece speaker is broken.

Anyway, I'm going to see my buddy at T-mobile on Friday. I've been looking at the Nexus 4 and on paper it looks amazing and I'm sure I'd be happy with it...except for that keyboard issue. I've been trying to use my slide without the keyboard for a couple days now and I really hate it. Things I hadn't even thought of before started popping up like not even being able to see the darn keyboard outside because of glare. I don't have that issuse with my slide out.

Anyway, I said before that I'd skip the Samsung Relay for a future keyboard device but now my back is up against the wall and I need a decision by Friday. Go for the Nexus 4 in all it's technological glory or get the Samsung Relay so I'm still in my comfort zone and a happy texter?

Does the Relay even have a dedicated XDA Forum? I searched but only found some stuff in miscellaneous.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
The reason typing on the touchscreen sucks on the MT4GS is because the screen is kind of hilariously small. I went from the MT4GS -> Nexus S -> MT4GS and typing on the Nexus S is so much easier because the screen is larger.

The Relay does not have a dedicated forum but a very large development thread in misc development. I think it's a pretty decent phone. The keyboard is nice, CM10.1 is chugging along decently, and the hardware is similar to the S3. The sliding mechanism is kind of terrible though and I think that would be the first thing to fail on the phone.

Nexus 4 is pretty cool. I'd take a look at the Note 2 also unless you think it's too large and wear pants with no pockets or something.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Thanks for the input. I am leaning towards the Nexus 4 for many obvious reasons but I'm already getting separation anxiety from my keyboard and that 5 row qwerty is sweet on the Relay. I feel like a kid trying to give up his binky lol.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Hit me up on gtalk I'll make your mind up :D. Go NEXUS
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
I got the nexus 4 for my girl and she absolutley loves it and it is bar far the best phone out there... for her. I play with it a lot and like it much but doubt I could ever use it daily, I'm I need of a keyboard, been hooked for years and haven't found anything to move me away... if it were me go relay as you sound like you have similar needs/wants
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Yeah it's funny, I've been going back and forth all day about it weighing the pros and cons and it's ashame but my need for a keyboard might hold me back from getting that awesome Nexus 4. I also find myself using wifi calling to stay connected in a dead zone at work so that's another selling point.. I told myself i'd never go backwards in specs and that 5 mp camera is certainly a step backwards but I may end up taking the hit on that front to stay in my comfort zone. I do miss the dedicated number row from the G1 days too so that will be nice. If I'm forced to get a touch phone on my next purchase when physical keys are in the past, then so be it. I have two more days though and who knows, I might change my mind again and get the Nexus 4. The good news is that I think the Relay is free after rebate so I won't lose anything if I go that route and I could always buy the Nexus outright if I'm unhappy. Thanks for letting me bounce my thoughts here guys.

Sony Xperia ZL for me

I've given up my quest to find a next-gen QWERTY after the 4GS. Devs only make slab phones now. Giant, giant slab phones.

And as already expressed plenty, I'll never buy another HTC device again.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Whatever this phone from Motorola is, it looks pretty sweet to me. Screen is good size (I don't want a huge slab), it obviously has JB with very little alteration of the UI, it has microSD and appears to have removable back (so replacement battery, perhaps). I've read about the upcoming "X Phone" and it is noted this one pictures is NOT that, so this could be another model coming from Moto/Google. I'm definitely interested. http://www.neowin.net/news/mysterious-motorola-phone-leaks-probably-not-the-x-phone
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
So this aspect of that "leak" is wrong

" The leaked device comes with 2GB of RAM coupled with*Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 CPU and an*Adreno 320 GPU".....NOT the S4 uses Adreno 220 which is what your ds uses. The -S4Pro- which is the quad core uses Adreno 320. So I'm not sure what to think
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
They meant the Pro, they just left that off in writing the article, it is too high-line of a phone to not use the S4 Pro chipset. The fact they mention the 320 GPU assures that it is the Pro.

Went to t-mobile tonight and I ended up getting the galaxy s3. The build quality of the Relay wasn't impressing me at all so I'm giving this a try. I miss my keyboard already.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
a little over six months now with an S3 - I still hate it.

Been using my doubleshot more and more as the days go by. Some days I just don't even bother bringing the S3 with me when I leave home.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Yeah there's a lot to like about this phone but I can tell i'll never love it. It's too big for one. When people make a case for a phone without a keyboard, they always say physical keyboards make the phone too big...really? I think this phone is way too big and thin. Give me something I can hold on to. Anyway, I really wanted to like that Samsung Relay yesterday. I took pictures in the store and actually thought the quality was better than the Nexus 4 and that was when viewed on a screen with lower resolution too. It felt like is was a great size too but honestly the screen resolution really was terrible, sliding it out made it feel like the thing would break at any moment and the keys were so flat I felt like I was on a touch screen anyway. *sigh* I guess the world hates us physical keyboard lovers and if we want quality we're stuck with awkward phones like this s3. I noticed the s4 will have a 5 inch screen. lol Seriously? Where does it end? I'd much rather have a few extra mm in thickness than try to make calls on a flat screen TV. Anyway, If I see a good keyboard phone come back to tmobile, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. Until then, I'm going to text on this giant phone where I can't see most of the screen anyway because the onscreen keyboard takes up most of it.

Btw how do you keep going back to your MT4GS if they take different SIMs?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I first thought my Nexus camera sucked....then I found out I I wasn't using it right. Since messing with the camera and some light settings I get some crisp clean photos. Even in pitch dark.

Its not like the ds with camera software for just point and shoot and I'm sure TW has the same. I had to learn to use what is really there.

*edit*

Had a pic of my daughter there to show off but it wasn't uploaded in full res so it looks like crap :beer:

Too bad CDMA makes Verizon phones absolutely useless with anyone but Verizon. Once the T-Mobile/MetroPCS merger goes through, which it seems like it should with no problems, they should have a decent bit better service. Along with that, they'll be picking up some LTE spectrum because they're gearing up for and LTE rollout.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] siani_8:
Reading though your comments is kinda making me want to add a second line and buy a new Doubleshot lol. Anyway, the community certainly made rooting the SG3 easy enough so I'm sure it will keep me entertained for a while anyway.

P.S. It's good to see you back around. My brother usually swings through my place on Sunday nights for pizza and the Walking Dead. You should come by some time if you're not busy and we'll catch up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
The rumors coming out about the new "Google Phone" are quite interesting. Google has admitted to some of them, so the tease is definitely part of the marketing, I think. We will probably have to wait until the Google I/O event for anything official, but some who are usually right about these things are talking about a customizable phone, meaning you go to the Play Store and you can customize features so you can get the phone you want at the price you want. With "base phone" price about $199 with no subsidy or contract, then you can add features like a more powerful processor, more RAM, bigger battery, maybe a microSD slot, choose your camera, etc. This "X Phone" would then be custom built by Motorola for you. This is different from the previous phone I linked, that will also be a Google/Moto phone but not the "X Phone".

I'm not sure how this stacks up in the Nexus line-up or hierarchy. But getting the choices at a decent price and direct from Google/Motorola could be sweet. Might they offer a hardware keyboard option? We know that Moto can do those pretty darn well.

Hey thanks! I'm considering it. If there is a market for a keyboard case, you would think there would be a market for a version of the phone that came with one built in. I would have gladly paid extra!

Hey guys my HTC Evo 4g wont boot..I bought a replacement battery from eBay like 5month ago, and I am thinking that is the reason my HTC wont boot. I left it all night charging and when i woke up it was turned off. I have the original battery but it doesnt turn on with it either. Kinda strange! Stock/No root.

Maybe you guys could help me. Any help possible will be thankd. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
I would check the USB port to make sure it's in good shape. If it's okay, maybe you can find somebody who has a working battery so you can test it and confirm whether or not it's the phone or the battery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
It sounds like the Battery is not charging. Check your USB Cable, and Charger set up. Are you using an HTC Charger, and cable? Make sure to inspect the USB Cable carefully. Over time they wear. Try Charging the Batteries out of the device. Either in an external charger, or a different device. If that doesn't work, then it's time to try a know good battery.

I tested out another battery and the phone turned on, it now goes into the HTC white screen then it turns off. Then again turn on and it turns off again.. It keeps on doing that until I take the battery out. And when i put it back again, the led shows its charging but when i turn it on it does it again.

Try turning it on while connected to a power source (either computer or wall outlet) and see if it boots completely...if not...are you sure you have a rom on there? Try booting into recovery, wipe, and flash something/restore a backup

Well I just today ran into this same issue :what: . Stock OG EVO 4G, UnRooted. Same issue after charging all night. Was bought to me to see if I could repair it. Showing the same symptoms as described. Except no new battery. Inspected it looked good. Never been dropped, or scratched. Took it apart to get a closer look. All seemed fine. Then did a dye test on the solder around the USB. It was cracked, and just barely hanging on. Although it looked solid. I'm not sure, but what I think happened is that somehow it caused a short. So when it was turned on, while still plugged in. It caused the device to go into the Bootloop. Can't prove it, just a hunch. Just wanted to share, since I've never run into this before.

Hi,

I recently bought a 32GB Class 10 micro sd card from Sandisk. The card works perfect in my Tab if there is only a few files like some lessons on it, but if I put a big number of files like 1000 songs for example, the tab becomes totally unstable (very slow to navigate trough the menu, or to change screen) :(

I tested it on my computer and I've seen nothing wrong with the card, it works perfectly well.

I own the Galaxy Tab 2 7" with CyanogenMod 10.1.

Is someone has a solution ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesc760:

Hi. I'm new here and first, want to say hello. I've been on iPhones for many years. Finally got bored and crossed over to the "Dark Side" lol.

Second....I need help!!! lol or just some good old advice. I've searched and searched but can't really find a definitive answer. Too much conflicting info out there. One thing I did learn is that this forum is thee best so here I am!

I successfully rooted my i747 Galaxy S3 (Rogers). The trouble arose when I tried to install a Custom ROM. I kept getting errors, and after a bunch of research, I read that I should update my CWM. I did and that's when the trouble started. It went into a loop. It would just stay on a black screen. I can't get into Recovery mode or anything else for that matter. It will not power up in any way. It will now show the charging indicator light when it's charging. It's as dead as my ex-wife in the sack :). Obviously I've bricked it. I've learned that a jtag repair would fix it....and have since been told by an android buddy that it won't. Any advice or info would be appreciated!

The phone was on 4.1.1 and it's the Rogers i747 model (same as AT&T)

P.S, Rooting on a Mac sucks! I'm thankful that I had a PC at home too! Not that turned out too good :)

Update...as per Tech Support at Rogers, I removed the battery and plugged it in. The red indicator light came on. But it does not stay on and it goes out shortly after, battery in or not. Thought one more piece of info may help someone figuring this out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
Charge it as much as you can, search for the return to stock thread on here (make sure you get the one for your carrier), do that and if it isn't working after that, then you'll probably have to get it replaced.

Once it's charged, are you able to get in download mode? If so, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Odin can bring you back up.

It won't charge at all. Left it overnight and nada. I'll try again, but highly unlikely that it will. I also tried different ports as well as different computers to connect to. My only concern is that I take it back and Samsung discovers that it's been messed with. Oh well, it's only money

Here's the good news I'm assuming it's still under warranty and if it is when you take it to the warranty store at AT&T they will try two batteries to see if it boots and when it doesn't you'll get a new phone. You don't have to tell them nothing. As far as you know you shut it down to charge when you went to bed and it wouldn't boot in the morning.

The first phone I hard bricked I'm sure that's what I did. It became a beautiful paper weight. Not sure what happened the second time I had got off work late and instead of going to bed I was tinkering with my phone. I don't really know what happened. Careless and not reading, not making sure of what I was doing. I learned the hard way and I spend a lot more time studying and staying with the AT&T forums for my phone.

I have to admit I've really had fun here learning.
